International Boxing Federation (IBF) superflyweight champion Jerwin Ancajas insists he’s not the second coming of Manny Pacquiao, despite media hype that he’s next in line as the ring icon’s heir apparent.

It was Sen. Manny Pacquiao on the other end of the line and IBF superflyweight champion Jerwin Ancajas asked for a pray-over during a brief overseas telephone call the morning of his fight against Mexican challenger Israel Gonzalez at the American Bank Center here Saturday night.
